Explore Gank With Friends<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nYou can start by exploring and discovering the app\/ website, it’s okay to not fully understand it in one day. Simply make a goal and promote your account CONSTANTLY on your other platforms just like what I did until you have an audience on Gank. Then, you can start working on your content. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, take time to invite your friends to try it for themselves. Explain to them how it works and how this platform would help them in their cosplay\/content creator journey. By doing just this you can actually support each other. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The best part is that you and your friends can have a great bonding time when they are setting up the account, and at the same time, talking about goals and motivating each other!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let Everyone Know<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen promoting your goals\/ account it’s normal to be shy and anxious since it involves “donation” as support, but hey! Even if now you think you’re a NOBODY, always remember that someday YOU CAN BE SOMEBODY by doing so. I always tell myself that and it honestly boosts my confidence every time. Remember that you do not need to be famous or have a big fan base to start doing the things you want and love. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stay True To Yourself<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nBe yourself! Not only to be unique but also, that you won\u2019t have a hard time \u2018pretending\u2019. It can really kill your passion and even affect your mental health by doing so. However, you cannot just push yourself to other people and expect them to like you and your content. You have to make an effort or action, always be dedicated, and really put in the time to build your content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You also need to be dedicated to your followers & subscribers as well, as they are the ones who are there to support you. Give them perks and rewards as gratitude to show that you appreciate them. Appreciation goes both ways!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Learn To Accept Feedback<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n An additional thing that I learned from the Gank team that really made an impact was “whatever the feedback is, negative or positive, it’s okay, don’t be discouraged as it is still feedback~ it will help you learn and grow!” (Just take note that negative feedback is different from hate and harassment).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hope this helps and motivates the people who are new to the platform!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>What is a typical day like for you?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nA typical day for me could be really boring to other people that do not understand but I won\u2019t blame you for that if you think that it is boring. To make this short, my world and day revolve around Cosplaying, learning new things, editing, Wig Styling, work, Content\/Cosplay planning, sourcing materials & crafting, taking care of myself and my family, supporting, pep talks, and gaming with friends, working out and ice figure skating. I really enjoy doing those things. I’m always excited every day to showcase it to people\/ my audiences as I am proud of my work and as it can also motivate them in life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
People might label it all as \u2018hard work\u2019 but sometimes I label some of those as \u2018rest\u2019 because it really is calming to do them. I\u2019m really happy to do so many things on a daily basis, and it is therapeutic, at least for me. However all this includes a really weird sleeping pattern, but I can assure you that I\u2019m no vampire. ??\u200d\u2642\ufe0f?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Why choose the name Hippochii?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nI\u2019ve held that cosplay name for 5 years now. It was inspired by the Pichi Pichi Pitch \u2018Hippo\u2019 penguin character, and at the same time, I really love the Hippopotamus! They are really strong animals and this name reminds me to be strong even in tough times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The \u2018Chii\u2019 was just my nickname, and so far I haven’t met anyone who has the same name, so it makes me really distinctive and unique in some ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Biggest challenge and achievement on Gank<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nBiggest challenge..hmmm. I don\u2019t think that there\u2019s anything challenging on Gank as I really am enjoying and having fun. It\u2019s really easy to use the website or the mobile app. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My achievement right now on Gank is having these followers, supporters, and subscribers with me, as they are really kind, and supportive. Their appreciation for my content brightens up my day and I\u2019m really thankful for having them too. I\u2019m really happy surrounded by really good people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
